DC Direct First Appearances All-New Atom Action Figure

I absolutely had to have this one--who knows whether poor Ryan is going to be around for the long run in the DC universe, after all?

It's a good-looking figure overall. The costume detailing is nice. He's not too muscular, which is appropriate for the character, who is fit but not buff. I'm not sure the face is quite right, but he does wear a mask so it's hard to be sure.

And if this is an example of the articulation in this series, I've got no qualms about getting more of them. He doesn't turn at the waist, wrists or ankles, but otherwise has a good range of motion for a DC Direct figure--the arms turn out at the shoulders, and the hips bend enough to let him sit fully, which is less common than I'd like.

On the whole I'm quite pleased and would recommend him.
